WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES • When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES WARNING! Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have an accident. Have the vehicle checked immediately. - Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) • Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several typical driving cycles.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES - Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light • This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system. • If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle the ignition when the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is placed in the PARK position; the light should turn off.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES NOTE: There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat condition: • If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat. • You can also turn the Temperature Control to maximum heat, the Mode Control to floor and the Fan Control to high. This allows the heater core to act as a supplement to the radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling system.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING WARNING! • Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid being hit when operating the jack or changing the wheel. • Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. You could be crushed. Never get any part of your body under a vehicle that is on a jack.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES Spare Tire Stowage • The spare tire is stored inside a protective cover located under the center of the vehicle by means of a cable winch mechanism. • Using the provided tools, lower the spare tire by turning the “spare tire drive” nut, located on the floor in front of the floor console, counter-clockwise. • Retrieve the spare tire from under the vehicle with the provided spare tire hook.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES Preparations For Jacking • Park on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or slippery areas. • Set the parking brake and shift the transmission into PARK. • Turn the ignition to LOCK and turn on the Hazard Warning flasher. • Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite of the jacking position. For example, if changing the right front tire, block the left rear wheel. NOTE: Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES • Place the jack: • Rear jack locations are between a pair of down-facing tabs on the sill flange of the vehicle side body. • Front jack locations are on the sill flange of the vehicle side body and align with front door edges. • Turn the jack screw clockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle with the lift area of the sill flange. • Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw clockwise.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES • Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while tightening for increased leverage. Alternate nuts until each one has been tightened twice. The correct wheel nut tightness is 95 ft lbs (130 N•m). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or at a service station. WARNING! A loose tire or jack, thrown forward in an accident or hard stop, could endanger the occupants of the vehicle.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES NOTE: When using a portable battery booster pack follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions and precautions. CAUTION! Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source with a system voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor, alternator or electrical system may occur. WARNING! When temperatures are below the freezing point, electrolyte in a discharged battery may freeze.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES CAUTION! Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging system of the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle. • Connect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the discharged vehicle. • Connect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the booster battery. • Connect the negative end (-) of the jumper cable to the negative (-) post of the booster battery.
Flatbed Towing (all four wheels suspended OFF the ground) Recommended Method Recommended Method Flat Towing (all four wheels on the ground) NOT Permitted Shift lever must be in NEUTRAL. The distance to be traveled must not exceed 100 mi (160 km), and the towing speed must not exceed 44 mph (72 km/h).
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE • If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved by a rocking motion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the front wheels. Then, move the shift lever back and forth between REVERSE and 1st gear. Using minimal accelerator pedal pressure to maintain the rocking motion, without spinning the wheels, is most effective.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES EVENT DATA RECORDER (EDR) • This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE OPENING THE HOOD • Pull the hood release lever located on the instrument panel, below the steering column. • Raise the hood and locate the safety catch lever, in the middle of the hood opening. • Move the safety latch while lifting the hood at the same time. • Insert the support rod into the slot on the hood. • To close the hood, remove the support rod and place it in the retaining clip, then lower the hood slowly.
MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! • Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the gas cap is removed or the tank filled. • Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is in violation of most state and federal fire regulations and will cause the MIL to turn on. • A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle. You could be burned. Always place gas containers on the ground while filling.
